Congratulations!

Auditions held on Saturday went extremely well. Thank you for your cooperation and wonderful attitudes! I am very excited about the second year for the Ellis Emeralds. With such an outstanding group of young ladies securing their place on the squad Saturday, this looks like it is going to be a wonderful and productive year; a great experience for everyone involved.

The Day has Finally Arrived!

What a great week of clinic this week for all of the young ladies auditioning for the Ellis Emeralds this year. I am so excited at the prospects that have presented themselves. Clinic week has been very smooth and productive daily with great attitudes and hard work, qualities worthy of "Ellis Emerald" Status.

I hope that each young lady involved has grown in some way from this experience and I wish you the best of luck at auditions tomorrow.

A few reminders: Red shorts, white shirt, hair pulled up and appropriate make-up.

Auditions begin at 10am at the THS bandroom and should not last too terribly long. Parents and supporters are more than welcome to wait in the lunchroom.

Try not to stay up too late practicing!

GOOD LUCK LADIES!

Great Clinic today!

Today was a great start to a very long week of clinic and audition preparation. I am not alone is saying that the girls who came out today to Audition for the Ellis Emeralds was exemplary. The attitudes and cooperative nature was very encouraging and can go a long way. I look forward to tomorrow when we continue to learn and prepare even more.

Also, thank you to the Dega Darlins that so willingly gave of their time to be present today at clinic and offer additional support, encouragement and instruction. What a great atmosphere that provided.

See you guys TOMORROW!
